It's quite stiff

I bet you have the same problem as me. The nylon ball on the end of the stick is too large for the fork in the gear selector. I spoken to KAD about it and they said that the size of the forks varies across the years of mini production. Their nylon balls are all tested for size using a GO / NO GO gauge, but the tolerance between that and fork will mean on minis that the lever is stiff to move.

Ah right, thanks for that, it's a bit of a pain how they're stiff because of that.

Haha, we've got speakers in the van, most pointless things ever.

We were going to take the van, but it needed a new clutch, garage took the engine out, and there were loads of little problems which are taking a long time to fix, like the new sub frame was cracked. And the salon is leaking loads of water from the water pump area and as ive got uni exams at the moment I don't have time to fix it.

Oh that sucks! Decided that Dads mini needs new floors but trying my best to patch it up just for now to get it through the MOT! New floors from M-Machine soon though as they fall to bits when you look at them!

I should get paid. I make my boss money, as do other apprentices. :) Apprentice min wage should get scrapped IMO, in favour of the normal min wage. It's only fair.
Jun 27 2015 05:27 PM

BronkoMini

It's not that much though is it the normal minimum wage unless your old

22 years old :(. Should be getting my MOT licence in 18 months though. :) I mainly collect, service then deliver customers cars to their home, or work, address. I obviously do other jobs such as changing tyres, and general repair work like starter motors, alternators ect. I prefer servicing to be honest, It's less of a PITA. :)
